2XUWomen's Mid-Rise Compression Shorts

The shorts I received are slightly different than in the photo (possibly a variation of the same model): they have no X logo on the back side, but a small 2XU logo on the side of the left leg; the X inside isn't full silver, but an outline; and the seams are placed differently at the waist, both inside and in the back.I'm 162 cm tall, waist- 70 cm, hips 100 cm, and I bought size M. These shorts are quite tight for me at the waist, but the bottom hem fits well; also, on someone with shorter thighs, like me, the shorts will be closer to the knees, not really mid-rise. The shorts when laid flat measure 43 cm from waist to hem on the side, inseam is 22 cm. It's easy to move in them, and I expect they will let the sweat to evaporate well.Definitely not see through, even though very stretched on me, but for the same reason any underwear will be very visible. Have a hidden pocket without zipper on front right. No drawstring inside. A good black (not dark grey) color, doesn't bleed in warm hand wash and doesn't crease.

I'm a triathlete and I'm in love with these shorts, perfect compression and fit , I love it's design. Great for cycling and running!

I would have exchanged them for a bigger size but I had another brand that fit me fine.

Brilliant . Just tight enough. Feels like a second skin and legs feel much lighter.

Super comfy

This is now my favorite running shorts. Even on hot days they feel comfortable. They hold their shape well and no riding up on my thighs. Will order again. - update - did order more
